Emergency responders have been called to the scene of a second large house fire in Palmyra, Wayne County.

The blaze was reported about 12:20 p.m. at Route 31 and Hanley Road, just west of the village of Newark and south of the Erie Canal, according to the Wayne County Sheriff's Office.

No one was home when the fire broke out, but the two-story house sustained heavy fire damage, said Port Gibson Fire Chief Scott Monagle. While explosions were reportedly heard at the home before firefighters arrived, Monagle said a propane tank on the property did not explode. A tank was found intact by the charred house, he said.
